Here's the lowdown...
I'm on a 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 with a Super-drive (though I'd rather call it something else right now!). I'm also on OS 10.3.9. The drive is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-106D. The specs say it handles both +R and -R. Blah, blah.
Okay, now here's the problem (which seems to be fairly common based on other forums I've perused) ... lately all of the DVDs I've burned (both +R and -R) won't mount once they've been removed from the cradle. They burn fine and even mount on other drives, but not the Pioneer. CDs both burn and mount without a hitch. I've read up on firmware updates and drive cleaners, etc but most people (if not all) claim that these fixes didn't work for them. It doesn't seem to be a hardware issue necessarily... Could it have to do with updating to 10.3.9? I'm vexed and bleary eyed. Hope someone smarter than me can lend a brother some love.
